Dinagat Islands, Island province in Caraga Region, Philippines
The Dinagat Islands consist of seven municipalities spread across 802 square kilometers of land between Leyte Gulf and the Philippine Sea.
The area transformed from Japanese occupation when American forces landed at Loreto in 1944, establishing Black Beach No. 2 at Sitio Campintac.
Residents of Dinagat Islands communicate primarily in Cebuano, with additional languages including Surigaonon and Waray-Waray in coastal communities.
The provincial government maintains active channels for public project updates through their Bids and Awards Committee, ensuring transparent administrative processes.
The province contains specific wildlife found nowhere else, including the Dinagat bushy-tailed cloud rat and Dinagat hairy-tailed rat species.
